West Hills College-Coalinga Top Questions

What should every freshman at your school know before they start?

Flor

If i would go back in time I would tell myself, Flor you need to be sure what career you want to go into, try your best to be number one in what ever you choose or do. You need to believe in yourself, your smart , honest, and unique and you can be what ever you want in life. You need to organize yourself and your priorities. Also remember that any decisions in your career life will have consequences. You need to focus in your career and go all the way, don't leave things halfways. I know that you can do it. When you go to class always sit in the front, so you won't get destracted and pay more attention. Take good notes that is very important. You need to read and study so you won't have trouble in class and also you would learn more. Study with positive people, don't get destracted with negative people. I know all these advice will help you in your college live and your transitions.

Rodrigo

If I can go back in time, I would tell myself to stop goofing around in school and start making choices to select a school and major I want to be successful in. If I knew that I could of have taken the harder classes during high school, I would not have to be really stressful about my classes during college. I would also tell myself not to worry about the money because there is a lot of help out there. Another thing i would tell myself is to seek help so i can be guided ,y way through college.

Going back, I would tell myself to apply to more scholarships as well as apply to more colleges like UCs. I didnt' have all the info students have now. I would also tell myself to transfer to another CSU after two years so i can pursue my BA degree in Humanities like I should have done. I did not find out about that major until i was in college. Also, I would tell myself to not give up and not take unnecessary classes which kept me at school a bit longer.
